Is g.help deprecated? It does not work with new manpage files, not man dir
structure. g.help can not understand unformatted man files, so i tested
man -M $GISBASE/man/man1/some > somenew
now g.help can read the somenew file. g.manual also work with this.
LOOKUP file has old man dir structure and without extension .1. It's easy to
update. However, g.help needs man/man2/* files, which do not exist.
Any idea?

Hi Huidae,
perhaps g.help can learn to convert on-the-fly from MAN to text format (as
proposed above)?

Due to the HTML conversion all files are in one directory (as you know).
Personally and opposite to UNIX conventions I don't see much sense in
supporting topic oriented man/man1, man/man2... sections. As the user
won't go directly into these directories, I don't understand why we would
need such separation. Perhaps I missing something here?
Generally (if updated) the g.help could be a nice help. But the
keyboard settings are still very odd (d - Scrolls down one line etc.)
I could only manage to implement PAGEUP and PAGEDOWN...

Markus
